10000 Maniacs – Sally Ann lyrics

[ Claus, Powell, and Hyman (The Horse Flies) ]

a woman of beauty
a woman of pain
in france or jakarta
her shadow's the same

Chorus:
you go home with sally ann
you go home with sally ann
you go home

a woman of kindness
with bracelets of jade
in china or japan
her choices are made

Chorus

a woman of chances
no family or friends
in argentina
she knows only men

Chorus

a woman of color
debts to be paid
in trenton or detroit
she lives by the blade
